I rang the doorbell. And after I rang the bell I regretted it I turned to walk but was too late someone had answered the door.

"Who is there? Turn around you obviously wanted something so what do you want. Don't you know its dinner"

I turned around and looked her right in the face and said "Sorry Aunt Tay but my mom said I could come here if anything happen but if you don't want me here I can leave and go back home if you want."

"Aly I'm sorry I thought you were someone else."

It was then she noticed the bruises and what had happened to my face.

"Aly what happened to your face. Ok you need to come inside right now and we will have your Uncle Chad check it out ok"

"Ok but we can't tell my dad what happened"

"Aly we have to what if you need to go the hospital"

"Then you can take me but he can't know"

"Chad can you come to the front door please"

Chad started walking to the front door where his wife was standing talking to a girl he didn't think he knew but didn't really know because she was turned away from him. She turned around and knew at once who she was. After all she looked exactly like her mother.

"Aly what happened to you"

"I can't tell you I can't tell anyone. I wish I could I really do but I can't."

"Aly I can't help you unless I know what happened."

"But if I tell you than he will find out and it would only get worse"

"Who is hurting you Aly?"

"My boyfriend Jake but its not his fault its mine I said stuff that I shouldn't of and I know how he gets when he gets angry"

"Jake did this to you? Aly don't blame yourself it isn't your fault. Aly where did he hurt you"

"Well he hit me in the eye, my jaw, pushed me across the floor, dragged me, kicked me in the stomach."

After I had finished saying this I finally realized how bad the situation with Jake really was and that when I snapped. The tears just started and I couldn't stop them. Like I told you before that I had no luck so at that moment when I had finally broke down Taylor and Chad son Junior and my brother and my father walked in the door. Even though I hadn't seen them in a year I still cared about them even if they didn't feel the same way.

"I am going to go home bye"

"Aly wait a minute you can't go home it isn't safe"

"Fine I will go to the guestroom. Aunt Tay remember our deal"

And after I said that I left and went to the guestroom. Of course I was being followed by my brother and Junior.

"Aly wait why are you here?"

"I am here because my mom isn't home at the moment and home isn't exactly the safest place."

"Why is mom hitting you. Moms boyfriend"

"No mom would never hit me and mom doesn't have boyfriend I just can't be at home right now."

" Aly then what happened. You don't get those kind of injuries from playing basketball or cheering."

"Alex it doesn't matter just go out and play basketball and stop pretending like you actually care when you don't."

"It does matter Aly you're my sister and your hurt and I would never pretend to care about you because I really do care."

"You care where were you when mom and dad got a divorce and mom wouldn't get out of bed to go to work or when she would cry herself to sleep or when I would cry myself to sleep because I couldn't make her feel better."

"I was busy dealing with dad and how he was feeling and don't blame me because I couldn't do everything I am only one person"

"Well I didn't need you then and I don't need you now so please leave me alone."

While I was having that heart to heart with my brother my Aunt Taylor and Uncle Chad were talking with my dad.
